WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Before Ieay-
ing the city Hon. John r. Wilson said to a
friend:
1 am very well pleased with the suspicious
commencement OF the term Of Gov. Church.
Those who are most inclined to criticize him
and his movements do not fully know the
man. do not believe that the governor is
partial nor that il is his intention to build up
any particular faction in his own party. He
will do what he believes to be right, not only
by the Democratic party, but for the whole
territory. He Is very broad-gauge man,
and liberal in his views. Yes, it is probably
true thathe was sensitive concerning the
charges which were made against him as to
his personal habits. Where is the man who
would not resent such thing2 So long as
men who are prominent i'll politics are criti-
cized for their public acts, it is not likely that
they would feel unusually sensitive: but,
when the
MORALITY OF PUBLIC MAN
is questioned, the newspapers which attack
him are read by his family, and the wound is
not to him alone, but to all who hold him dear
and whom he devotedly loves. IT a man did
not resent and show resentment at such
things he would be less than man. No. 1t
makes no difference whether charges of that
nature are true or not, in my Judgment.
When they are true it is unfortunate Of
that they are stabbing at whole families in
such things. They do no good. They only
cause heart-burningS aud tears. am not DIS
cuSsin2 the morality of the men, but the fact
OF publication. 1t is all wrong. For my own
part do not believe these charges against
the governor, nor have l ever believed them
In fact not one hundredth part of the stories
which are started against public men have
anything but the slightest, if any, foundation
except in the imagination OF the writer's. Of
course am friendly to Mr.. Day. l always
have been. He has always been my friend.
Mr. Day is as friendly towards Gov. Church
as any man in the territory, although strong
efforts have been made to make him appear
as antagonistc to Mr.. Church.
THE DAKOTA DEMOCRACY
is now as united as 1t ever has been, and 1t is
growing in harmony as it is in strength
Moreover, Mr.. Mccormack and the governor
are on the best of terms. You know that
Mccormack is not poor man, by any means,
and If the office he holds were unpleasant to
him, for any reason whatever, he wouldn't
hold 1t for single day. He Is comparatively
rich, AMI does good business, and he is not
in need of any Office. So long as he is pleased
with his Office. and can be OF service to his
party he will hold it, and no longer. The
mere fact that he lefnains there ought to be
enough to silence the rumors of disafection
and dissatisfaction, which have been circu-
lated. Gov. Church has about him some Of
the best men in the territory. Ward, Nc
Clure, Mccormack aud the rest will be able to
assist him materially in avoiding the perni-
cious influence OF the few who are inclined to
make trouble aud abuse his mind. He is a
fair man, aud has surrounded himself with
the best material in Dakota. / do not see
how his administration can be other than sue
ceSSful and praiSeworthy.
